As part of a global settlement, alternative retail electric supplier Sperian Energy will refund $2.65 million to Illinois consumers and the company has voluntarily suspended all marketing efforts in the state for two years.

According to the Illinois Commerce Commission, when the settlement is finalized refunds will be delivered to current and former Sperian costumers. The settlement is a result of a 2015 proceeding held against Sperian by the Illinois Commerce Commission as a response to allegations Sperian had violated the Public Utilities Act and the commission’s rules with its marketing.

Additionally, the Illinois attorney general had filed a separate action against Sperian alleging that the company’s action violated the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Practices Act and the Telephone Solicitation Act.

These proceedings stemmed from customer service complaints about the company’s door-to-door sales and telephone solicitations.
